Lisa Owen was my third attorney. What I thought was going to be an easy case, rapidly escalated to one of the worst experiences I have ever been through. A divorce. If everything is smooth and no issues at all, maybe any attorney will do. When things get nasty and everything is at stake, you want to be sure you have the right team behind you. I had to changed attorneys twice because I found out as things progressed, the case was beyond the level of competance for the current attorney. One of the attorneys had to withdraw from the case because she admitted it was beyond her abilities and experience. I wish I had saved all the wasted money and time with the first two.
All I wanted, was to know, that when we went to the mat "court", the team and person fighting for me, that I had total trust and faith in them. No matter the results, I wanted to know, they were the best. Lisa Owen was professional, 100% on her game, her team behind her including Natasha, Sarah, and several others, were always pushing and driving forward. Lisa actually scared me she is so good. Sharp, articulate, fast thinker, great debator, driven, witty, a total bad as#. She is a true bull dawg and exactly what you want if the case is something that truly matters. Lisa called me on her family vacation, pushed me non stop, she thought about things I never would have, I was in awe of her and her team the whole way through. She ran the show....She directed everything. she was in charge....and that is exactly what I wanted.
Yes, I paid a lot of money to hire someone of her caliber, but, I would have saved so much money if I have contacted her first. I am so thankful to my friend that I called who works in the legal system and asked for help and who was the best? I wish I had called her at the very beginning. She said, without a doubt, you call Lisa Owen.
What will it cost you if you lose your case? What will it cost you if you don't settle in a more favorable position for you?
My divorce was the worst event of my adult life. Far worse than I could have ever imagined. The emotional drain, the physical exhaution, the fear of what may happen. Once again, some couples get divorced and it is a simple conversation and they draw it up and it is over....But if things turn nasty, if things are complicated with your family, businesses, etc, if you think you need the best, if you want the best possible outcome, and the total confidence in the team you hire....I could not recommend Lisa Owen more highly.
In my professional career, in any business field, you know when you are working with someone who is one of the best in their industry....Lisa is one of those people, as is her entire team.
I am a Marietta native. I am a 25 year veteran in the mortgage industry, and unfortunately I help clients every month go through a divorce. There is usually a home and a mortgage to deal with. You want the best helping navigate these steps. I typically help one of them move out and buy a home, and the other, I help to refinance the mortgage into their name. It is a very structured and a very emotional process.
I never thought I would personally go through it myself. I now feel like I have a Ph'D in the mortgage/divorce space. I was going through this to settle my case, but also to learn as much as I could as to the logistics of all that can take place on the legal side. I was an apprentice watching one of the best in the industry, and paying very close attention, because I was the case being tried.
I am not a personal friend of Lisa's. This review was not requested. I will rarely ever give a review, but when I do, it is only for someone that I will give my personal approval for them. If you want the best, and if you can hire her....you want Lisa Owen.
If you want to buy or refinance a house, call me....if you want to bury your spouse, call me....and I will introduce you to Lisa.
OK. maybe not bury your spouse...but you get it.

Crying because of how good I was taken care of by this firm. Natasha represented me & she went above and beyond for me. She kept me in the loop the entire time, fought for me, I never had to worry what was going on or what was going to happen. She is extremely smart, stern & know whaat she’s doing. Natasha, Lisa, Sarah I am so thankful for you all you have made my life so much easier and will be the people I use if I ever need anything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Navigating the process of finding a lawyer is not an easy one but I can tell you finding Hobson & Hobson P.C was nothing short of Divine Intervention from God!!! My lawyer Brandy Alexander and her paralegal Meghan Warren are absolutely amazing. They are attentive to my needs and concerns and always reply to me within 24 - 48 hours about my questions and concerns and I’ve had a lot of those. They are very knowledgeable on Family Law and I’m definitely getting what I paid for. They keep me updated on every step in my case and are very thorough with handling my case. My case involves Child Custody Modification and that’s not a very easy process mentally to deal with. However Brandy and Meghan do their best to make it as bearable as they possible can. They do their best to get the best possible outcome for your situation and with them I can clearly see the path forward with my case knowing my child best interest is the main concern of not only myself but my team I’m working with as well. Thank you Hobson & Hobson P.C!!

Paid $200 for a consultation with Attorney Potter and I’m honestly not sure what I paid for. I gave a detailed description of my case and asked 7 questions to gauge whether I wanted to hire her or not and she just talked in circles for the entire hour. She didn’t answer none of my questions and was very long winded. I will not be hiring this firm bc if she talked for 1 hour about absolutely nothing, I can’t imagine how much my total cost would be at $390 a hour for her to represent me. Honestly, I want a refund. Some of the questions I asked were how long would it take her to get up to speed on my case, has she handled cases like mine and what were the outcomes, what are the possible outcomes of my case, can she identify anything that I can settle on, and how can I avoid future cases. All of her answers were “I don’t know.” I am looking for an attorney with a strategy. If I explain my case in detail, I expect you to be able to provide insights based on your experiences. This was supposed to be legal advice. I want my $200 back.

THIS LAW FIRM DOES NOT FIGHT FOR RIGHTS OF FATHERS--------LOOK FOR A LOCAL LAWYER!!
Disappointment is a complete understatement with this law firm and Ms. Dione Potter.
This law firm drags out the process and charges for each email and phone call they make while continuing to drag the case out.
I truly felt Ms. Potter was working for opposing counsel. Everything opposing counsel wanted she got with NO fight from Ms. Potter. Everything opposing counsel said in court was just allowed to be said about me with not one objection. I lost everything except what the mom allowed me to have....thank goodness she allowed me visitation because honestly if she said "no" to that I would not have gotten that either.
I've asked the firm why I did not get anything I asked for and of course they nor she could answer.
She truly feels she did a good job........
child supoort increased from $700.00 to 1,130.00 per month
absolutely no final decision making for my child, even though I was told I would get some rights, but the mother has all those rights
I requested a Guardian ad Litem, I was told I would get it and the judge goes that route. But NO GAL assigned, opposing counsel did not want one
she sat and watched as opposing counsel said tons of untruths about me
and I got the privilege to pay my ex's lawyer fees
So I spent close to $30,000.00 with this firm with nothing to show for it, except for a laywer who thinks she did a good job. They are only good at doing one thing........billing you
IF YOU ARE A FATHER FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS.......DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM

You pay for a consultation 125, then you pay a retainer 1800, then you pay their processing fee (400)…. He called me to set up meeting. Told him I work 3 shift the later the better. How about 3pm? Great I said, whatever works for you. Then he offered 330…. Again whatever works. Called me next day saying he had court on day HE scheduled me, but may be continued…. If continued I wouldn’t hear from him, if not he would call to reschedule. Literally called me the next day to tell me it was continued. So I came into the office concerned that his lack of scheduling abikity was costing me money. His very unprofessional receptionist finally got him to discuss we’re he claims it wasn’t being charged. Had one meeting with the lawyer. Left out of their doubting he could walk and chew gum at the same time. Literally talked in circles the entire time. What a joke. He told me it would cost 50k and I was only going for a contempt accusation. Fired him after first meeting Robert was first name in st Charles location. Paid over 2400 to them, and then I get a bill for another 125. Hired a new lawyer Dodd, she showed up, had it thrown out with most my new retainer refunded. Do not waste your time or money with cordell cordell.

I repeat do not hire this woman she’s a CROOK!!!! She will take your money and do absolutely nothing for your case. She is lazy all she’s worried about is payments. She done absolutely nothing for my son’s case all she did was gather evidence from the DA she has no clue of what she’s doing. She needs to be reported to the bar association. All she had to do was get a video and she couldn’t even do that. She will not have your back and gets an attitude when you call her or ask questions. I never hated someone more than I hate this lady she’s a con artist. Do not give her your money.

She took my payment immediately then drug her feet emery step of the way....I hired a new attorney after she was more concerned about police camera footage of another case during my mediation. New lawyer requested documents and she sent over I complete stuff to her as well.
Worst $4200 you could ever

First I must say that Kim is simply an amazing defense attorney. I scheduled a consultation for her to represent me with possible charges pending from a family member which was traumatic in itself. She's very tough. She's a fighter. And she will fight for you. As she has fought for me and continues to fight for me. The best advice I can give you is be completely honest with her. I know it's terrifying when there is pending or possible charges looming. But she needs to see the clear picture so she can fight for you. I am so blessed and thankful that I found her and her practice. Thank you Kim from the bottom of my heart I could not have went through this without you. She truly cares and she will use this extensive legal knowledge to help you.

My wife and I hired Jud in the fall of 2013 after we were sued for a sellers disclosure disagreement on our house. From the beginning Jud explained what we were to expect throughout the process and kept us completely informed. He was ultra prepared anytime we had to face a hearing and made sure we had no outstanding questions in the judicial process. We recently won the case due to Jud's knowledge of the law and his diligent expertise. I would recommend Jud to anyone who needs representation in a legal manner.

I can truly say he is a true professional...always calls back when you try to reach him, is an expert in his area and really cares about his clients and their outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for the best of what Marietta has to offer as far as a lawyer goes, you won't be disappointed.

Jud helped me clear a legal matter that impugned my property. He was extremely knowledgeable and effective on my behalf. He explained my options and the process to me so I knew what to expect from the start. I feel that this matter was handled in a professional and very expeditious manner. In the end, it was clear that Jud knew the law much better than the other party. I would highly recommend his services.

Thankfully we have not need other services, but if we do we will not hesitate to call Randall.

Attorney Nash is a honest and dedicated professional, he provided me with a much needed service that reduced my ticket from a major infraction to a basic rule (which implies it is negligible and won't show up on driving records), funny part is we only spoke over the phone through the entire ordeal (court dates and fees).
Thanks

Crying because of how good I was taken care of by this firm. Natasha represented me & she went above and beyond for me. She kept me in the loop the entire time, fought for me, I never had to worry what was going on or what was going to happen. She is extremely smart, stern & know whaat she’s doing. Natasha, Lisa, Sarah I am so thankful for you all you have made my life so much easier and will be the people I use if I ever need anything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Lisa Owen was my third attorney. What I thought was going to be an easy case, rapidly escalated to one of the worst experiences I have ever been through. A divorce. If everything is smooth and no issues at all, maybe any attorney will do. When things get nasty and everything is at stake, you want to be sure you have the right team behind you. I had to changed attorneys twice because I found out as things progressed, the case was beyond the level of competance for the current attorney. One of the attorneys had to withdraw from the case because she admitted it was beyond her abilities and experience. I wish I had saved all the wasted money and time with the first two.
All I wanted, was to know, that when we went to the mat "court", the team and person fighting for me, that I had total trust and faith in them. No matter the results, I wanted to know, they were the best. Lisa Owen was professional, 100% on her game, her team behind her including Natasha, Sarah, and several others, were always pushing and driving forward. Lisa actually scared me she is so good. Sharp, articulate, fast thinker, great debator, driven, witty, a total bad as#. She is a true bull dawg and exactly what you want if the case is something that truly matters. Lisa called me on her family vacation, pushed me non stop, she thought about things I never would have, I was in awe of her and her team the whole way through. She ran the show....She directed everything. she was in charge....and that is exactly what I wanted.
Yes, I paid a lot of money to hire someone of her caliber, but, I would have saved so much money if I have contacted her first. I am so thankful to my friend that I called who works in the legal system and asked for help and who was the best? I wish I had called her at the very beginning. She said, without a doubt, you call Lisa Owen.
What will it cost you if you lose your case? What will it cost you if you don't settle in a more favorable position for you?
My divorce was the worst event of my adult life. Far worse than I could have ever imagined. The emotional drain, the physical exhaution, the fear of what may happen. Once again, some couples get divorced and it is a simple conversation and they draw it up and it is over....But if things turn nasty, if things are complicated with your family, businesses, etc, if you think you need the best, if you want the best possible outcome, and the total confidence in the team you hire....I could not recommend Lisa Owen more highly.
In my professional career, in any business field, you know when you are working with someone who is one of the best in their industry....Lisa is one of those people, as is her entire team.
I am a Marietta native. I am a 25 year veteran in the mortgage industry, and unfortunately I help clients every month go through a divorce. There is usually a home and a mortgage to deal with. You want the best helping navigate these steps. I typically help one of them move out and buy a home, and the other, I help to refinance the mortgage into their name. It is a very structured and a very emotional process.
I never thought I would personally go through it myself. I now feel like I have a Ph'D in the mortgage/divorce space. I was going through this to settle my case, but also to learn as much as I could as to the logistics of all that can take place on the legal side. I was an apprentice watching one of the best in the industry, and paying very close attention, because I was the case being tried.
I am not a personal friend of Lisa's. This review was not requested. I will rarely ever give a review, but when I do, it is only for someone that I will give my personal approval for them. If you want the best, and if you can hire her....you want Lisa Owen.
If you want to buy or refinance a house, call me....if you want to bury your spouse, call me....and I will introduce you to Lisa.
OK. maybe not bury your spouse...but you get it.

Beyond Mike's knowledge of the law I believe he is an amazing attorney and good man with regards to how well he explained everything to me, communicated regularly with me about my case, and actually strategized and fought to achieve and exceed my goals. He was the second attorney to handle my case and if I had found him first there would have been no need to look elsewhere.

We recently engaged Mike as our attorney and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. From the initial consultation to guiding us through the legal process, Mike was always professional, responsive, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable. He provided us with honest opinions and recommendations that were based on his wealth of experience, and he always kept us informed and updated throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Mike's expertise and hard work, we were able to achieve a result that far exceeded our expectations. His dedication to our case was evident every step of the way, and we felt confident in his ability to represent us.
Overall, we highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking legal assistance. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and we are grateful for all that he did for us. If you want an attorney who will provide top-notch service and get results, look no further than Mike. Five stars all around!

I've had lawyers in the past that sold me a dream on what they would do for me but, in the end, they never came through with everything. Don't get me wrong, I've had decent lawyers but David has surpassed them all. I was charged with driving on a suspended license not long ago and keep in mind, my driving history is not the best by any means. David sat down with the D.A and worked out a deal to where I was able to keep my license without being put on probation. I expected much worse. There was also a situation where I was facing prison time for failing a drug test and violating my probation. David not only kept me out of prison but also got me into the rehab that I needed. He will tell you like it is. He will tell you exactly what to expect and what he can do for you. David has done everything for me that he said he would and more. I have been very pleased with everything he has done for me. I will continue to use David for any problems I have in the future. I strongly recommend David for any situation no matter what it is.

if you are reading this review and are considering working with the Ivan Allen Law firm this is your sign to trust them with your life… literally. There was nothing easy about my case and it took 5 years to settle everything. Insurance companies, I’m convinced, are evil and immoral people who do not care about your wellbeing and Attorney Amy Ivan and her husband are the angels that God sends you to help get through the war. I’ve never personally met anyone at this law firm and they helped me get through every last interrogation, legal obstacle, negotiation, and emotional outburst. There were times I wanted to give up, but with their counsel, patience, integrity and wisdom, we saw it through and the end results were in my favor. These are the types of attorneys that remind you that there is still some good left in the world. I am forever grateful for this team and even though I hope I never have to hire them again… they are the only lawyers I would ever hire again…

I hired Pam for my traumatic and messy custody case against my abusive and narcissistic ex-husband after I was referred to her by two different professionals. I made the mistake of first hiring a "prestigious" high-end firm in Del Mar, that absolutely ruined my life, cost me almost $80,000 and gave me awful legal advice; leaving me legally obligated to further endure my abusive ex-husband's unwarranted control for 2 YEARS with their horrible representation, despite psychological evaluations and mental health professionals in our case blatantly stating that I was indeed a victim of his manipulation and lies and he was solely intending to hurt me by taking our sons.
Pam came into a cyclone of craziness a year and a half into my case, and in just 4 months she was able to undo all of the horrors that I had been forced to endure, standing up for me and being my and my children's voice in the courtroom. After our first meeting I walked out, finally having hope that someone was going to be able to help me, as Pam was no-nonsense and it was easy to see she sincerely cared about getting my children back to me and my life back to normal.
Divorce and custody battles are awful, awful circumstances to endure. If you don't have a strong, intelligent and determined attorney on your side, it is so easy to get lost in the shuffle in the over saturated courts, and bullied by other, more aggressive attorneys. I 110%, whole heartedly believe that without Pam, I would've been stuck in this mess for years to come. She is by far the best attorney I have encountered, and she saved mine and my children's lives. If you need someone to fight for you and your children, Pam is your woman.

My twin girls were being abused by their mother located in another country and were taken in to custody by CPS, I contacted Pam and right away she sprung into action, she immediately made it that my girls case would be tried where I lived which is north San Diego county, that made a huge strategically difference in my case.
Had Pam not been so proactive things would've turned out differently I'm sure, but I now how full custody of my girls and even though my case in now closed she still checks in on me and my girls to make sure we are doing good.
Trusting Pam with your case would be the best choice anyone that has the opportunity to hire her can make, quality and care that you can depend on.

Paid $200 for a consultation with Attorney Potter and I’m honestly not sure what I paid for. I gave a detailed description of my case and asked 7 questions to gauge whether I wanted to hire her or not and she just talked in circles for the entire hour. She didn’t answer none of my questions and was very long winded. I will not be hiring this firm bc if she talked for 1 hour about absolutely nothing, I can’t imagine how much my total cost would be at $390 a hour for her to represent me. Honestly, I want a refund. Some of the questions I asked were how long would it take her to get up to speed on my case, has she handled cases like mine and what were the outcomes, what are the possible outcomes of my case, can she identify anything that I can settle on, and how can I avoid future cases. All of her answers were “I don’t know.” I am looking for an attorney with a strategy. If I explain my case in detail, I expect you to be able to provide insights based on your experiences. This was supposed to be legal advice. I want my $200 back.

THIS LAW FIRM DOES NOT FIGHT FOR RIGHTS OF FATHERS--------LOOK FOR A LOCAL LAWYER!!
Disappointment is a complete understatement with this law firm and Ms. Dione Potter.
This law firm drags out the process and charges for each email and phone call they make while continuing to drag the case out.
I truly felt Ms. Potter was working for opposing counsel. Everything opposing counsel wanted she got with NO fight from Ms. Potter. Everything opposing counsel said in court was just allowed to be said about me with not one objection. I lost everything except what the mom allowed me to have....thank goodness she allowed me visitation because honestly if she said "no" to that I would not have gotten that either.
I've asked the firm why I did not get anything I asked for and of course they nor she could answer.
She truly feels she did a good job........
child supoort increased from $700.00 to 1,130.00 per month
absolutely no final decision making for my child, even though I was told I would get some rights, but the mother has all those rights
I requested a Guardian ad Litem, I was told I would get it and the judge goes that route. But NO GAL assigned, opposing counsel did not want one
she sat and watched as opposing counsel said tons of untruths about me
and I got the privilege to pay my ex's lawyer fees
So I spent close to $30,000.00 with this firm with nothing to show for it, except for a laywer who thinks she did a good job. They are only good at doing one thing........billing you
IF YOU ARE A FATHER FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS.......DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM

You pay for a consultation 125, then you pay a retainer 1800, then you pay their processing fee (400)…. He called me to set up meeting. Told him I work 3 shift the later the better. How about 3pm? Great I said, whatever works for you. Then he offered 330…. Again whatever works. Called me next day saying he had court on day HE scheduled me, but may be continued…. If continued I wouldn’t hear from him, if not he would call to reschedule. Literally called me the next day to tell me it was continued. So I came into the office concerned that his lack of scheduling abikity was costing me money. His very unprofessional receptionist finally got him to discuss we’re he claims it wasn’t being charged. Had one meeting with the lawyer. Left out of their doubting he could walk and chew gum at the same time. Literally talked in circles the entire time. What a joke. He told me it would cost 50k and I was only going for a contempt accusation. Fired him after first meeting Robert was first name in st Charles location. Paid over 2400 to them, and then I get a bill for another 125. Hired a new lawyer Dodd, she showed up, had it thrown out with most my new retainer refunded. Do not waste your time or money with cordell cordell.

I highly recommend Champion Legal Resources. Cheryl is amazing. I was nervous and scared going into her office to file for divorce, however, her confidence and compassion immediately put me at ease. Cheryl was honest and direct, helping me through every step of my divorce as quickly and efficiently as possible. Cheryl and her paralegal Liz always made sure I clearly understood what was going on with my case throughout the process and were very prompt at returning my phone calls and emails. I am beyond grateful to Cheryl for keeping me focused on important issues while providing emotional support to achieve a favorable outcome in my divorce. It’s been a pleasure knowing and working with Cheryl and Liz.
